SPI Canadian Spirit Resources Inc

Canadian Spirit Resources Inc. (“CSRI” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:SPI) (OTCBB:CSPUF) advises that, as a result of the continued deterioration of the North American natural gas prices accompanied by the further discounted price experienced by producers in northeastern British Columbia producing into the Spectra main pipeline, it has shut-in natural gas production at Farrell Creek due to a negative netback on joint venture natural gas production. At this time it is unknown when this production will resume. The Corporation will provide another update to this evolving situation when appropriate.

The Corporation granted to certain directors, executive officers and consultants of the Corporation incentive stock options to purchase a total of up to an aggregate of 5,250,000 common shares in the capital of the Corporation pursuant to the terms of the Corporation's amended and restated stock option plan.

The remainder of stock options issued vest as to one-quarter on the date of grant and one-quarter on each of the dates that are 6 months, 12 months and 18 months subsequent to the effective date of the grant. All of the stock options have a term of five years and may be exercised at a price of $0.070 per share. Following the grant of stock options, the Corporation has an aggregate of 16,675,000 stock options issued and outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.081 per stock option.
